El Muerte TDS: I'm considering to replace my EditPlus with this editor, it looks promising.

SabbathCat: The fact that it's free is a bonus for people who can't afford to shell out for the other programs once they hit their 30 days. Also, the neat "Save to HTML" feature is cool if you want to put up your code on a website without having to format the code with colour by hand. Very cool.

Bob_The_Beheader: Ok one major problem (for me at least) is that it doesn't line wrap when cutting and pasting. When you are typing, it line wraps by inserting \n\r (returns) Also, the tab button does not cause indenting a consistant length.
